One of the happy byproducts of my somewhat dormant efforts at learning Japanese has been an exposure to an interesting selection of Japanese music. Although I started out with the intent of expanding of my vocabulary and improving my listening comprehension, I have to admit that the real effect has been the enjoyment of a wider variety of music without a whole lot of learning going on. Thanks to emusic (Disclaimer: I do not work for them or receive any financial or equivalent benefit from them. Basically, I just like their indie emphasis and low prices), I have been able to take a chance on a number of groups, a few of my favourites I'd like to recommend over the course of the next seven days.
Each post will include a capsule review, cover art, band links, and a video to give you a sense of the group's sound. It's an eclectic mix, so you're bound to find something of interest.
You can find the links to each post below.
